ACL Audi TFSI 1984cc 4 cyl. (CDL) Standard High Performance w/ Extra Oil Clearance Rod Bearing

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Audi or Volkswagen 2.0L TFSI engine, especially one with the CDL engine code, you're likely looking for reliable internal components. These ACL high-performance rod bearings are a solid choice for that kind of work. They're built with extra oil clearance, which is a smart move when you're pushing an engine harder than stock, or if you've already made other modifications that increase stress on the rotating assembly.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and these are well-built for the job. The 'HX' in the part number signifies their high-performance line, and the 'STD' means they are standard size, so they'll fit right onto your factory-spec crankshaft journals. The extra oil clearance helps ensure that even under higher loads or temperatures, you maintain adequate oil film between the bearing and the crank, reducing wear and preventing catastrophic failure. This is especially important if you've already upgraded things like the turbocharger or fuel system, which can lead to increased cylinder pressures and heat.

When you're putting an engine back together, especially for performance applications, using quality bearings like these from ACL is a critical step. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, including proper torque specifications and assembly lube, to get the most out of these bearings.
